Mr. Derrie Dillon:

As stated by the Deputy, there are many variables and many challenges, including cultural challenges. We see that across European countries. There are some things that need to align as well to help us. I mentioned an alignment around the taxation code and schemes under the Common Agricultural Policy. They are important as well. The succession partnership which we mentioned earlier is more attractive to the profitable sectors because there is a tax credit per annum. For sectors that do not have a significant taxable income, the schemes are not as attractive, but that is not to say they cannot be. With some adjustments, they can be also attractive to those sectors. That would help on the journey.

On the figures, our ambition is to have an average 100 arrangements per facilitator. There will be many inquiries, perhaps in the range of 500 to 700 per facilitator. Our ambition is to take on 12 facilitators to cover the country. Each facilitator could potentially receive up to 750 inquiries, which will then be distilled into the region of 500 practical or measurable engagements, leading to, we would hope, a final outcome of in the region of 100 to 150 arrangements per facilitator per annum. That is our ambition based on our current model if we scale up that model.

They are our aims and projections for the service.
